Preface

Yii is a very flexible and high-performance application development framework written in PHP. It helps building web applications, from small to large-scale enterprise applications. The framework name stands for Yes It Is (Yii). This is often the accurate and most concise response to inquiries from those new to Yii such as: Is it fast? Is it secure? Is it professional? Is it right for my next project? But the answer is an unequivocal, yes it is!

This cookbook contains 13 independent chapters full of recipes that will show you how to use Yii efficiently. You will learn about the hidden framework gems, using core features, creating your own reusable code base, using test-driven development, and many more topics that will bring your knowledge to a whole new level!
